[2016-2017] Donatas Motiejunas as a New Orleans Pelican

Not sure why this thread is so active. Honestly Motiejunas' performance is not worthy of being followed unless you are his parents or agent.

Are we going to fire back up the Omer Asik thread to discuss his performance?

 

Many here like to beat dead horses.

 

because dmo is an intriguing player, 7-footer with post moves who shoots 3s

btw i would like to know how asik is doing

 

So, he's gone from sulking on the Rockets to sulking on the Pelicans?

 

You forgot left-handed.

 

Here's how everyone on that team is doing

Basically everyone is doing pretty bad.

 

You hold BPM stats too high in regard. Most everyone will be in the minus when the whole team is -3.7 in pt differential.

Did you look through the list of all teams. Pretty much every chart of below -2 point differential teams looks like that. Not sure what it says more than you don't have enough talent on the team to score more than the opponents, thus over time, opponents push most everyone to the minus side of that line. And I suppose it highlights pretty effectively what we already now, Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday are important.

 

It's a pretty bad team partly because the players are pretty bad despite having Anthony Davis.

As to the chart, sure it's not the only metric that counts, but from most of those that I've seen it's pretty accurate.

Here's the Rockets



Harden is awesome, Brewer is the worst player that gets minutes. I mean, that's totally accurate.

 

Happy 1-year anniversary!



72% disliked the trade.

 

That 1st rnd pick would look real good right now.

 

Cousins in, and to yule c

 

"We have our rights. We will not let DeMarcus come in here, bully us & take our playing time. We have our rights & we're considering our options. We'll see."

 

D-Mo has literally never averaged even one 3-pt made per game ever in his career. He's shooting 28% from 3 this season. Stretch 4 my ass.

 

Wow, big trade. Peels saying they are gonna trade TJones, DMo will stay a deep backup.

DD

 

yule c

 

btw dmo stepping up and being critical of team has helped them progress to the point where thy acquire Cousins...good wake up call dmo!

 

Because it's entertaining to watch the Dmo defenders and the mental gymnastics they employ to defend their man-crush.

 

I fully expect DMo to walk up to Cousins and jokingly apologize for flopping on that last "technical foul" he got, and Cousins looking at him with that bewildered look of his -- "Who are you?"

 

this is good for dmo he thrives on competition...hes a competitor and tjones asking for trade out already is pathetic
